Keep Extra Clothes At Work

I have been chilling all day thanks to wet slacks and socks and soaking wet tennis shoes this morning when I said okay to car line duty - not my day. I would have worn thick wool socks and boots if I had known ahead of time but I did not because no one gives you any notice when they do not show up Miss repeated No-Show did call my phone after I was at school After my cell phone was turned off And cozily sitting in my glove box I have asked her a million times To call me at six before I leave my house Of course she cannot As she does not wake up until seven I figured this out myself As she flies in complaining About the traffic when she does show up Which is pretty often just not daily Her hair is wet from a shower when she arrives Even on the hottest days And I know that her drive is at least twenty-five minutes I am determined now to keep boots at school along with My six coats, scarf, fur hat and three pairs of gloves And a couple of pair of warm fluffy wool socks As soon as I find some

I've known people like that... sheesh! I think your backup plan sounds wise. ;)

I opened a file drawer and all I saw were clothes stuffed in there; I am so glad no one trusts me with any important paperwork including me!

I think that the school needs to rethink her. But, yes, keep that all handy. Great piece.
